Promise: A Quadrille Self-Reflection
Promise
Promise to be true.
Yes, I do!
Promise to reflect,
To show respect.
Promise to listen, sitting still.
Yes, I will!
Promise to be fair,
And to always care.
Promise to keep fighting.
Promise to keep writing
Your own story.
Oh, don't you worry!

It was Quadrille Monday at dVerse, the virtual pub for poets around the globe. Lilian was our pubtender, she asked us to include the word “promise” in the body of our poems of exactly 44 words (excl. title).

I love the enthusiasm and positivity in this, Jan.
Thank you, Melissa! A promise to myself to write more again and remind myself of my values and principles. In particular when times get tough.
Reading your poems helped me keep a positive mindset this year by the way!
That makes me very happy to know.🥹
